Indian cricketers were not much into TV ads till the 1980s came along, when television had reached plenty of new homes. Yet, only a handful of cricketers featured in those TV commercials. However, since the 1990s, TV advertising exploded and many big cricketers found themselves on TV endorsing one product or the other.

Over the years the concept of TV ads changed and cricketers not only appeared with Bollywood stars, but have now begun to appear with their wives as well. That being said, we look at cricket couples who featured in ads together.

The power couple of Indian cricket first met each other while shooting a TV commercial for Clear Shampoo. The two instantly hit it off and since then kept their relationship under the wraps. The couple had the country looking at them in awe when they featured in the now-famous Manyavar advertisement, promising to be together for life. In just a few months after the commercial, the two tied the knot in real life and since then are going very strong.

While MSD is not new to the advertising world having numerous commercials under his name, his wife Sakshi recently made her debut in the ad world by sharing sreen space with her husband for a toothpaste commercial. In a video available online, Dhoni can be seen talking about the importance of inner strength during trying times in life.

The Indian wicketkeeeper and his squash playing wife tied the knot in 2015 in a fairytale wedding. Even though they have been out of the spotlight due to their international commitments in their respective sports, the couple featured in an Asian Paints ad together for the first time. Through the almost-eight minutes video, the couple talks about the various rooms and areas of their home and also give a sneak peek into their private lives.

The couple had a simple court marriage on November 23, which was followed by mehendi and sangeet ceremonies and a blockbuster reception. Last year the couple for the first time appeared in a short video for a platinum jewellery brand where they got candid about their love story and the journey of going from a loving couple to becoming man and wife.
